6 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
6 oz. smoked sausage, sliced
1-1/2 cups water
One 14 oz. can diced tomatoes, not drained

1 teaspoon oregano
1/8-1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 oz. raw shrimp, uncooked
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Melt oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, red bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft. Add rice and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently.

Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh seafood, flavorful sausage, and aromatic vegetables will make a world of difference in the final dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: Paella is a rice dish, so you need to give the rice enough space to cook properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the rice will not cook evenly and will be mushy.
Use a wide, shallow pan: A wide, shallow pan will allow the paella to cook evenly and will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Cook the rice in stages: Paella is traditionally cooked in stages. First, the rice is toasted in the pan with the other ingredients. Then, the liquid is added and the rice is simmered until it is cooked through.
Let the paella rest before serving: After the paella is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will make the paella easier to serve.

Whether you're a seasoned paella pro or a complete beginner, these tips will help you make a delicious and authentic paella that will impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Gather your ingredients and get cooking!
